Care and safety information

SAR

THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization
ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices
is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 1.44 W/kg (*). As mobile devices offer a range
of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in this user guide (**).
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices highest transmitting power the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically
below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the
minimum level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special
precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do so by limiting
the length of calls or using a 'hands-free' device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body. Additional
Information can be found on the websites of the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/emf).
(*) The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for testing.
